Tuscarora Speedway 1

[PAscoutdog]

Hey Folks, Its been about 3 yrs. since I been out of the loop. I moved from s. jersey to my hometown of Carlisle PA. and I recently started my 4th track, Tuscarora Speedway. I live about 6 miles from Williams Grove so this track is going to have the same footprint. Long straights, tight corners with about 7 degrees of banking. heres some quick pics of my tracks in s. jersey.













The front stretch (w/ electricals) and back stretch from my home track in jersey were the only things that survived the move to PA. So I have a little head start on this one. The track will be 36' by 12' (3/8 mile to scale) and I don't have enough room to build a true half miler! I think it will be big enough.











My old track had 3/16 braid and i'm doing this one w/ 1/4. I am definitely redoing the front strectch with 1/4 but I was wondering if I needed to rebraid the original 3/16 on the back stretch? Any suggestions or imput will be appreciated. Thanks for looking and a big thanks to Harry for helping me figure this picture posting stuff out.

Welcome to HRW! Hmm, wood slot tracks, beer cans and DH bikes, pretty cool place to hang out!

This is going to be EPIC! 36 feet? Holy cow...

Since you moved...how long did it take to pack up all of the cans you'd collected?

Another reason for rebraiding the back stretch. Not all braids are the same thickness. The 3/16" & 1/4" braid might be of different thicknesses, possibly causing deslotting problems.

Really like the first Blue Track. It just has a great flow feeling to it. 2 nice straights plus interesting turns. Beautiful look and finish. I also like 2 drivers stations at each in of layout. Be easy to marshall. Any updates on these tracks. Thanks
